THE LC4 CHAISE LONGUE BY LE CORBUSIER (1887-1957) FOR CASSINA, ITALY, with canvas and black leather upholstery, on a chrome base, stamped 'CASSINA NO. 79748' The LC4 was originally designed as a chaise lounge for the interior spaces of several of Le Corbusier's residential architectural commissions in the late 1920s and exhibited at the 1929 Salon d'Automne; production through Cassina began in 1965. Le Corbusier referred to this design as a ''relaxing machine'' allowing the user to adjust the cradle to assume a number of reclining positions. Over the past 80 years it has become an icon of the International Style and, along with several of the Le Corbusier, Perriand, and Jeanneret designs shown in 1929, is included in the permanent collections of numerous museums around the world.
